I’ll go with the cons first:
Wood post are not solid wood. It looks as though they are in the pics. They are not. They are actually 4 boards put together to make a post with a filler piece on top and bottom to make them look solid. They look great! But they are not solid. Not a deal breaker for me, but I was a little disappointed to find this out.
-Roof joints do not go together as I expected. The have about a 1/4” lap joint between each section. I pictured this being a bit more weather proof.
-Roof is very thin. About 1/4” thick. The construction of the roof requires you to be on the roof many times to construct certain parts. It’s difficult as you can’t bear weight on many areas.
-pictures look as though there are metal slats at each roof joint for a decorative look. These slats are actually wood that is painted black. They provide no sealant for between the roof joints and slats. I ended up putting a bead of waterproof tar on the side of each roof joint before putting the slat down. I’m pretty sure water would easily leak through each joint if tar was not used. I have yet to have it rain on our gazebo so time will tell.
-more about the wooden slats….they are very light weight wood, and I feel like they could weather very quickly. Web site said the wood is coated with something to help it withstand the elements…we shall see.
-I am very nimble and and I don’t mind a challenge, but I’m a bit annoyed working on the roof. Much more challenging than I thought it would be.
Now the pros—
I feel like my cons list would immediately make people not purchase this. I just want people to know what I would have liked to have known about this particular model.
- I love the look of this thing. It really looks just like the pictures online.
- the roof is thinner than I thought, post are hollow, but the gazebo is pretty solid once everything is together. Seems like it should hold up pretty well.
- under side of roof looks amazing. The wood color and grain has a great feel to it!
- wood construction makes it easier to replace something on your own. If a post were to break or rot, you could easily replace it with a treated 6 x 6. This made the wood model over the metal ones a bit more appealing to me.
- construction overall is easy. If you put everything together just like the manual says, it should go pretty smooth. All the screw and bolt holes lined up perfect. Just make sure you really follow where each piece goes number by number. If you swap parts, holes may not line up in a different step.
Overall review—- beautiful patio gazebo. some of the materials are not what I expected. Roof joints concern me a bit with leaking…. But overall I am pleased with the unit and would recommend it. So far…. We’ll see how it holds up through the next 4 seasons.
I’ll change my rating to 4 stars if it holds up well.

Update——
After 2 weeks up the roof panels brackets are fading!!! Some areas of wood have split too!
Prettier than expected. My husband put together himself (I barely helped) over1.5 days. Pleased with the look but instructions could’ve been better- I heard a lot of cursing going on so I giggled from afar.
Came with a few manufacturing knicks but otherwise good.
Gave it 4 stars due to poor instructions(pictures only) and the few dings in the wood it came with.
Hoping it withstands the Florida storms but overall really happy with this!!
